Investors Bank on the Listing
Of CCH Shares in Brussels

When shares in Credit Communal Holding open trading on the Brussels Stock Exchange, they're expected to be snatched up by investors eager to own part of Europe's 22nd-largest banking group.

Indeed, shareholders of Credit Communal de Belgique SA already have agreed to buy more than two-thirds of the 10 billion Belgian francs ($317.5 million) of stock that will be listed on the bourse in mid-November.
